Third article down:
"We find sometimes that media attention to the area can be a little less than compassionate and we don't want them to feel like animals in a zoo during that time."

Quote from the article about "Vancouver sex trade workers...who will be getting training on dealing with the media's questions such as

ANYONE CHECK THE STATS ON HOW DANGEROUS LIFE IS FOR PROSTITUTES??? AND ON THE EMOTIONAL DAMAGE DONE TO THEM (BESIDES THE VIOLENCE RISK???)??? prostitutes are NOT safe...they have friends die (fron violence or from STDS...) and SOME are on drugs! I know---from foster care...and my own research.

"..No one deserves that kind of humiliation, Davis added."

Fancy "reeducation and media training" programs - notwithstanding.
PS what of the KIDS born to prostitutes?
